Year One Report
What kinds of successes have happened in dance education at your school? All team members are incorporating movement in their weekly lessons, Teachers have shared what they have done in their rooms or ACE workshops during staff meetings or parent evening events at school. Team has also incorporated movement integration with community events, such as the during the Mora Vasalopet cross country skiing event.
What were the challenges?
Our team's challenge this year have been scheduling issues with getting all the teacher's involved with dance integrated lessons. Another challenge has been changing the overall attitude of teacher's toward dance. Finding planning time for creating lessons with dance/movement integration has been difficult, but our ACE resources have really helped us address this challenge. We still need to find even more time/opportunities to create lessons and collaborate with each other on the team to create movement events and programs.
